Working on it

Her bloat is not frothy at all. And I've seen her get feed stuck. She slings her head back and forth until she clears it. Nothing like this.

Called on call vet. Basically everything we have tried is it unless we want to send goat to UNC veterinary hospital for surgery. They said to see if she is still with us in the morning and decide then.

She only "sounded" aspirated. I dont know how else to explain it. Even before the administration mineral oil.

Should we massage her HUGE belly? Trying to get it worked up?

Yes she will let us rub anything and everything. I had read that I should not massage the lump if hard.

She is also NOT acting distressed, which is worrisome.

Update. Gave her 20 mL of mineral oil incase of bloat. I was planning on 60-120 mL but she struggled so hard to swallow the first 20, I stopped. She was choking. Though she is able to drink water. Rules out obstruction? She sound like she can't breathe, making growling sounds with each forced...

She was fine...until today. Was out giving feed and they always come when I yell hey. Today Red didn't come. And those who have goats know that means trouble. She looks like she literally could pop. Along with mass on neck, hard, which again was not there 24 hrs ago. My girls have always been...

A few photos from over the weekend. They got some outside time, even though as much rain as we got the last few days was crazy. The sun finally came out for a bit. The boys are just as handsome as ever, and the little black and white girl might just have become my favorite. She's the runt and...

Red also did great, delivered 2 healthy girls. She delivered a breach still born boy, I was unable to get him turned to his bag breaking. Just happy that 2 out of 3. They were all born 24 hours apart. Both moms are doing great. We were bale to get Moonpie milked down to where they can nurse now...

Well she was indeed preggers. 2 healthy boys.

Well, those that remember Moonpie she is preggers again. Her estimated due date was 1 week ago. We've had her penned up for 2 weeks now with hay and grain access 24/7. As of today her belly is seemingly smaller, could be because she's dropped. Though her bags are big, and almost saggy in...

We will use Ivermectin drench and then alternate to safe guard, we've also used the ivermec paste. Has anyone ever used the Ivermectin sheep drench, and double dosed? Meaning 2 days in a row? :hu If worm count is very high.

Well she has adopted the name Penelope :love Will update with photo's of her cuteness soon. She is doing very well.

We milked it last night. It went down fine. I'll check it again this afternoon and see what it looks like. I just don't want to risk mastitis :hu

Ok. Need help...do I need to milk her some? Her one teat looks normal. The other like it's so full it could pop. How does it work with 1 kid, 2 teats full of milk?

I do like Penelope! I'll see what the jury (aka - the kids) rules. :lol: I cannot wait to get off work to get home to this little precious! I worry so about her. It was no use trying to sleep last night. You'd have thought I had a new born! Up every hour or so making sure she was feeding ok, no...

Mom and baby are doing quite well this morning. They will get some pasture time this afternoon :) She has been a great momma so far! Quite the helicopter mom! :lol: always hovering over her! I went in last night and picked the doeling up for a few minutes and I was sure Red was going to go...

She's precious...I may habe a biased opinion lol
